Culgan
Lymsleia
Tal
Ferid
Yuber
Pesmerga
Zahhak (love the name)
etc...
All of them i believe suit their faces
except for
Dolph
Keneth
Seed

haha
Bang sounds weird for a name.
Nao and Mao? what the-?! its like they rushed into thinking a name
They should've thought a better name for Jeremy.

Who names the characters of Suikoden anyway? You guys have any ideas?

....I have no idea who names them...*scratches head*.....
Umm.....maybe the character designers themselves and the person who's in-charge the plot?

Okay truth be told the person who names them is a parrot named Billy Bob.

I can understand though how it would be hard to come up with 108 differnt names each game, plus NPC's plus bad guys. I would have trouble to, and would most likely start giving them weird names Like Mao to.

They should ask people for names.......write them on paper and submit or anything like that.....e-mail.....comment box......??? (I wish they'd do that.......we'd definitely contribute alot....) :mrgreen:

So exactly whats so weird about Falenan names? Lymsleia, Ferid, Luserina, Godwins, Barows, all quite okay to me. Well Fuwalafuwalu is an exception. But its a beaver anyway.

The only Falenan name that bugged me was Kyle. It's a fine name, but it's so damn out of place among names like Miakis, Sialeeds and Lyon. What was up with that?

Ferid wasn't from Falena until he got married; he's originally from the Island Nations. (His family's got nice names......)

I've always felt that Blackman was, by far, the worst Suikoden name ever. It sounds like a slave name. Plus, it's just a tan white guy anyway!

Lol....is that his first name or just his lasname? 'Cause if it was his first name, then that would be darn weird.......who would want to name his kid 'Blackman'?

Sadly, most of us have those problems...D:......which adds to more confusion amongst all of us, eh?

Dupa means "incense" in Indonesian...but I think it has nothing to do with his name since I think that's not where Konami pick his name from.

Yeah, actually I made a topic somewhere about some cool name meaning's I found.

Also, it seems that even if Konami picks a name outta a hat they will have certain meanings to them, so it's hard to say.

Most Suikoden characters don't have last names, so it must be his first name.
